6. Breitling Montbrillant 01

Breitling

Price: $10,000

A real man’s man might need a sportier, more macho watch. Not many people who own one of Breitling’s classic aviation wristwatches know how to use the slide-rule bezels to calculate anything at all, but they do enjoy the undeniable panache they lend the watch. While the classic Navitimer is the most famous version, the white-dial Montbrillant, with its crisp design and smart red central ring, is perhaps a little more formal and versatile. If you can get hold of one of the 2,000 that contain Breitling’s in-house Calibre 1 movement, you really have something special.
